FACE 4/4 Acrylic on Canvas 8"x8" 2016

Progress requires an investigation of conventional understanding. My work challenges expectation, iconography, language, and space, creating a distance that leaves room for inquiry. Viewers must be active participants to uncover the exploration of my own identity, representation, and perceptions within established spaces and genre.
With my research I question world building and the construction of being. Taking cues from comic books, (speculative) fiction, oral history, and historicized and personal archive, I situates this multidisciplinary work in “the stutter," the space between, and claim dysfluency to disrupt familiarity.
